Winning the Senate is not the important thing, it's the only thing. I was listening to NPR on my way to work this morning and they sounded depressed over last night's primary results. They were hoping Republican voters would field unlikeable, unelectable candidates of the Akin, Mourdock (and Paul Broun) stripe who would be soundly defeated by Democrats come November, paticularly in Georgia where Michelle Nunn's roadmap to victory has now become much more difficult.

Ill vote for the democrat in November.Well, that will certainly do a lot of good --- for the Dimocrats!
Unfortunately, it's rather clear that more than a few folks on this forum did exactly that in Nov. 2012.

Moderates have never rallied behind conservative nominees and frequently boycott them. Increasingly, conservatives will do the same to moderates.
Maybe I just don't get out enough, but I don't hear "establishment" Republicans say they are going to stay home or vote for the Democrat when a conservative wins a Republican primary. Yet on FreeRepublic and elsewhere, conservatives are always saying that they will boycott RINOs in the general election.

The liberal GOP-E will always blame conservative voters for not voting for their liberal candidates.
Doesn't matter. I no longer care who blames me. I won't vote for the liberal(R).

Nunn won’t win in Georgia this fall. Grimes won’t win in KY.

You don't get out enough. A group of the Chamber of Commerce types said that if a conservative gets the nomination in 2016, they would support Hillary.

I don’t really see how it even matters at all.
This country is going to hit the wall very fast and very hard, and that is all there is to it.
And the people driving the train, which include both parties, think they can build a better train out of the wreckage.
That is where we are in America, we’ve gone utterly and completely insane.

McConnell squeaked by with 6% in his last general election, against a lousy dem candidate. Grimes is a better candidate, and Mitch has burned his bridges with conservatives with his 'Destroy them wherever we find them' comments.
Grimes wins in November.

Truth be told, I don’t see any political solution to our problems. I believe we are in a death spiral.
But it’s fun to talk about.
To: drjimmy
Like the NJ GOP did for Bret Schundler, the conservative, when he won the GOP nomination for NJ Gov in ‘01?
Like that?
The GOP bigwigs outright endorsed the dim, calling Schundler ‘extreme’ and ‘fringe’.
Sound familiar?
Even the sitting GOP governor didn’t endorse him.
Yes, the GOPe would rather the dims win than a conservative. They have FAR more in common with the dims than they do with the conservatives.
Like the GOP did when ‘Murcow-ski’ lost the GOP primary in Alaska? Like that?

Not a dime’s worth of difference.

If the pubbies do win the senate this go around, how many milliseconds will it take for them to offer some sort of power sharing agreement with the dims?...I’m hoping if we take the Senate, Ted Cruz will mollify them by saying “We will treat you the exact same way you treated us, be assured. Only better.”

Nope. Not one.
In NJ, the NJ GOP was more afraid that an ‘outsider’ would get in office and see all the graft and corruption they’d been up to. They knew a dim gov would play along and throw the occasional corrupt bone their way as a favor and keep a lid on the bipartisan hands in the till scandals leaking out.
To: staytrue
why?
They won’t do anything with it, especially with Mitch McConnell around.

Too many bought seats in the senate for that to ever happen.
It’s nice to think about though.
To: centurion316
I have had my doubts that we will win the Senate. I was hoping we would but I also realized that the communists hold on the Administration would make the effort useless. Where we lost the fight for freedom was when the heavy effort by some Republicans to defeat Romney in 2012. That put the nail in the coffin. America is in real trouble and the communists Democrats will destroy most of America. And 2016 might be the only chance and even if we get that it will take generations to return America to a conservative Constitutional land.
